The Knicks are done with the Nuggets this season, but Amar’e Stoudemire might face off against Carmelo Anthony on Feb. 20 at Staples Center in Los Angeles on All-Star Sunday. That is, if they are not Knicks teammates by then.

Stoudemire’s All-Star trip became official last night, when it was announced he won the fan vote as the Eastern Conference’s starting power forward, his sixth All-Star nod.

He is the first Knicks starter voted in since Patrick Ewing in 1997 (Ewing didn’t play in that game).

Anthony secured the starting spot for the Western Conference at small forward, along with the Thunder’s Kevin Durant. The All-Star Game will be staged four days before the trade deadline, and Anthony, a four-time All-NBA selection, could be dealt, with the Knicks a top candidate.

“It’s a great accomplishment and I think the most important fact is that the fans really appreciate it more so than anyone because they see the success that we’re having, they see the team’s success,” Stoudemire said. “The most important factor of being announced an All-Star starter is that it wouldn’t be possible if your team is not successful. If your team is not successful then it wouldn’t happen, so it’s also a team award.”

Was he surprised Garnett held the lead for so long?

“I think it’s because Garnett is such a great player and won a championship,” said Stoudemire, the NBA’s second-leading scorer at 26.1 points per game. “Boston had great success, and that’s why they were voting for him and not me.”

The Knicks could gain another All-Star via the coach’s vote, which will be named in one week. Point guard Raymond Felton looked to be a top-notch candidate, but his game has declined recently and the Knicks suffered a six-game losing streak as a result.

Felton has never made the All-Star Game, but his average of 17.5 points per game is fourth among Eastern guards and his assist average of 8.9 is third in the East.
